Prime Day sales are a great excuse to upgrade your tech and save some money in the process. Whether you need a new laptop, your TV is kaput, or a pair of new earbuds is the perfect treat, you'll find just about everything discounted. My tech of choice this year was the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, and two days after Prime Day ended, it's still on sale.
As of Oct. 10, the Fire TV Stick 4K is on sale for $29.99, a $20 savings. This is slightly higher than its Prime Day low of $24.99, but only just.
So, why the Fire TV Stick? Well, the TV I've carted through the last 10 years of my life is still going strong, so I find no need to throw it out just yet. However, smart TVs were far less common back then, so to watch Netflix, Prime Video, or any streaming service, I had to hook up my laptop with various cables and control it from there. Not so easy. This is where the Fire TV Stick comes in.
It's incredibly easy to use, and the setup takes less than five minutes. Just take the Fire TV Stick and plug it into your TV's HDMI port. The device also comes with a wall plug to power it with electricity, and that's it, you're good to go. It also comes with a remote with Alexa functions, so you can use it just like a smart TV and ask it to search for your favorite movie, browse the web for a question, or even speak to other smart devices in your home.
As the name suggests, the 4K model of this device gives you better quality, ideal for 4K TVs. And, of course, you get access to the Amazon Fire operating system, which is another plus. All your apps are in one place, and you can pick up your favorite Prime shows right where you left off, straight from the home screen.
